•Channel: the channel used by the wireless LAN. All devices in the same wireless LAN
should use a different channel. We advice a ratio of 5 points so you should use a
combination of channel 1, 6 or 11. If you are not sure which channel is best to use, then
keep the value of “auto”.
Use Wifi-Info-View to determine which channel is available for usage.
You can download the free utility on the website:
http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/wifi_information_view.html
•Transmit power: the transmit power can be set to a bare minimum (1mW) or maximum
power (100mW) for better performance. (As from 2018 the maximum outlet level in

•Band: you only are able to choose 2.4GHz (802g+n) band since it is a single-band
module according to the “N-standard”.
•HT Mode: allows you to specify whether the AP should transmit on 20MHz or 40MHz
bandwidth.
•Force 40MHz mode: for maximum speed you should enable this mode. Modern devices
all are compatible with this mode. However, if you do own an older device that does not
function well, you should disable it to guarantee maximum device compatibility. Always
use 20Mhz when you use multiple OptoXSTM Wifi units for an optimal channel array.
•Data rate: this is the rate this access point uses to transmit data packets. The access
point will use the highest possible selected transmission rate to transmit the data
packets.
•Fragmentation threshold: this feature specifies the maximum size of a packet during the
fragmentation of data to be transmitted. If you set this value too low, it will result in bad
performance.
•RTS threshold: when the packet size is smaller than the RTS threshold, the wireless
router will not use the RTS/CTS mechanism to send this packet.
•CTS protection: clear to send (CTS) protection mode is a wireless setting that ensures
clients on a network can connect to an AP when many communication devices are
present.

•ESSID: this is the name of the wireless signal which is broadcasted. All the devices in the
same wireless LAN should have the same SSID.
•Mode: allows you to set the module in Access point Mode, client mode, etc. For un-
experienced users it is adviced to keep the module operating in Access point Mode.
•Hide ESSID: hides the network name (SSID) from being broadcasted publicly.
•WMM mode: this enables the Wifi multimedia network QoS feature. This prioritizes the
traffic of multimedia related data such as voice and video above other data/content on
your network.

4.2 Security
This module provides complete wireless LAN security functions, included are WEP, IEEE
802.11x, and can prevent your wireless LAN from illegal access. Please make sure your
wireless stations use the same security function and are setup with the same security key.
Figure 4.2.1
No encryption
When you choose to disable encryption, this will create an open network. It is commonly
used in guest networks.
WEP
When you select a 64-bit or 128-bit WEP key, you have to enter WEP keys to encrypt data.
You can generate the key by yourself and enter it. You can enter four WEP keys and select
one of them as a default key. Then the router can receive any packets encrypted by one of
the four keys.
•Input Type: you may select ASCII characters (alphanumeric format) or Hexadecimal
digits (in the "A-F", "a-f" and "0-9" range) to be the WEP Key.
•Key length: you can select the WEP key length for encryption, 64-bit or 128-bit. The
larger the key will be, the higher level of security is used, but the throughput will be
lower.
•Key1 - Key4: the WEP keys are used to encrypt data transmitted in the wireless network.
Use the following rules to setup a WEP key on the device. 64-bit WEP: input 10-digits
Hex values (in the "A-F", "a-f" and "0-9" range) or 5-digit ASCII character as the
encryption keys. 128-bit WEP: input 26-digit Hex values (in the "A-F", "a-f" and "09"
range) or 13-digit ASCII characters as the encryption keys.
